Neda Barghashi is an Iranian-Canadian internet personality, being the first ever Iranian beauty blogger who started producing beauty related/ makeup tips and tutorials in a video format in Persian/Farsi language in 2014. In 2016, she started making comedy videos on Instagram.

Her goal is to empower women, inspire them to be comfortable with their body and femininity, and promote self-love and independency. Also, her main goal is to entertain her followers and connect with them on a personal and deep level, make them laugh and escape their daily stress.
